A bright crop of starlets turned out for the third annual Coach cocktail party and shopping event to benefit the Children’s Defense Fund, hosted by ‘Star Trek’ movie producer-director J.J. Abrams on the rooftop of his Bad Robot production company in Santa Monica, California on Wednesday. Coach clutches, handbags and totes proved to be the night’s hottest accessory, as many PYTs no doubt plucked up a new purse for their collections.

Chloe Sevigny: Always one to keep us guessing, the actress went for a rather girly approach in this printed Balenciaga dress that immediately had me wanting to fix that lopsided black bow at the waist. I also couldn’t get past the white tongue flap on those Balenciaga peep-toe shoes—or their mauve-purple colour that clashed with her coral-pink Coach clutch. An orange lippie proved another dissonant tone, although it matched the logo behind her.

Abigail Spencer: Donning a creamy DKNY Spring 2013 dress, the actress was chic and polished. She prevented sartorial boredom with a fuchsia handbag and melon-hued ankle-strap sandals. Loose waves and a glowing complexion finished off this breezy look.

Kate Mara: The ‘House of Cards’ star mixed masculine and feminine, showing a flash of skin in a Vena Cava sheer crop top with ruffled sleeve paired with black Parker peg pants and Brian Atwood’s ‘Wagner’ peep-toe heels. A Dannijo necklace was well-placed and added just the right amount of sparkle.

The Miu Miu Fall 2013 presentation took place in Paris, France yesterday and the brand invited some familiar faces to view the show – none of whom we would immediately associate with the brand, so what better way to make an introduction.

Renee Zellweger: Known for her love of all things Carolina Herrera, the actress donned a Prada black lace shirt dress for the occasion. Looking a lot fresher than she did at the 2013 Oscars, the actress styled her look with all-black Prada accessories.

Zoe Saldana: Wearing Miu Miu head to toe, her look perfectly represents her effortless, laidback style. Working a luxe camel wool coat, the rest of her look features a navy long-sleeved top and high-waisted ankle-zip leather pants, which she accessorized with black Craquelé leather pumps and a Cipria patent matelassé clutch. Save for the out-of-place clutch, this was my favourite look.

January Jones: While I do love this playful head-to-toe Miu Miu look from January, I do get the feeling that she just stepped off the ‘Mad Men’ set with this 60s-inspired look. Maybe that relates more to the hair than the clothes.

Lea Seydoux: The French actress wore an all-Prada look. The look is instantly recognisable by her black Prada coat with floral appliqués. The pretty look, which featured a pink dress with a white collar and black pumps with a pink bow, was styled with an edgy white clutch with silver studs.

The mini-turtleneck style sweater featured textured detailing on the front panel and exposed just a sliver of January’s skin for a playful look. The black and white pants were a graphic take on the classic tuxedo pant, and I’m glad that she went without the matching coat shown on the runway.

January is a past fan of the black and white trend, and really, the whole look seems to be a style her ‘Mad Men’ character Betty Draper would wear. She styled the pants-and-top look with Chanel shoes, a clutch, and a statement ‘Eventail’ black and white diamond cuff.

A neutral makeup palette and a volume-injected bob completed the look.
